Featuring ClientEarth Sustainable Seafood Lead Quentin Marchais, Sustainable Fisheries Partnership E.U. Markets Director Carmen Gonzalez-Valles, Sea Farms Ltd. Fisheries Manager Sarah Hussey, and ClientEarth Sustainable Seafood Coalition Coordinator Oliver Tanqueray, “10 Years of Pre-competitive Collaboration in the Seafood Supply Chain: What Have we Learned?” is available free for SeafoodSource Premium members or for individual purchase to non-Premium members for USD 40. It was presented on Thursday, 28 April, with the following description:
Precompetitive collaboration in the seafood industry has been at the forefront of transformative change towards improved seafood sustainability in supply chains internationally. For the past 10 years, collaborative industry platforms have multiplied in various markets around the world. These initiatives span various geographies and cover a range of topics. Some focus on a country whilst some aim to address transversal sustainability challenges faced by the sector. Over the years, these platforms have accumulated invaluable experience. We know today that there is no one size fits all solution, and that there are incredible differences between different seafood markets which justify the need for different approaches and modus operandi of these initiatives. This year, the Sustainable Seafood Coalition is looking back at 10 years of collaboration in the UK seafood industry, an excellent milestone to reflect on the journey and the main successes and challenges along the way. As believers that buyers have a significant role to play in improving the fishery (or aquaculture activity) they source from, our session aims at providing a space to reflect on achievements of the SSC after 10 years and together with upcoming opportunities, and compare with similar initiatives in another geography, including the “Plataforma por la Sostenibilidad Pesquera” a precompetitite platform in Spain. Taking into account the post-Covid economic and political context together with the context of a once in a generation European Green Deal to make our economy more sustainable, the participants will reflect on future opportunities to step up commitments and international collaboration further to strengthen the seafood sustainability agenda.
The entire package of videos from SENA and the entire package of videos from SEG can each be purchased for USD 250, but all are free to SeafoodSource Premium members.
